The WICKED Word - a CURSED cocktail for this Halloween

Get your bottles at House of Bitter Bear 👉 https://houseofbitterbear.com It’s Halloween, and this drink is scary good. The Wicked Word is an original riff of mine inspired by the classic Last Word template (equal parts base spirit, two liqueurs, and citrus) with one fiery twist: flaming Sambuca 🔥 This cocktail looks like something straight out of an enchanted apothecary — bright, dangerous, and delicious. Mix one up, mind the flames, and enjoy responsibly. Happy Halloween!
